Well its not much but why don't you come spend it with me?

[orthodoxies]

You wouldn't mind? I mean, don't you have plans with your family?

[thinkbigpicture]

Well my dad can be a bit of an ass, so can my brother. We don't do much but I wouldn't mind some company.

If it's not imposing, then I'll definitely come over. Thank you.

( Grace pauses as something else comes to her mind. )

Jay? Does Will know that we...or should I keep that to myself?

Not a terrible thing.

[Eyeing her grocery basket as they stood in line and making no judgement. His was similar in the sparse yet obvious thanksgiving supplies. A precooked smoked turkey breast, frozen green bean casserole for two, a half dozen rolls, a large bag of dog food at his feet and shuffled forward as the heaping carts in front of them were slowly emptied onto the conveyor belt.]

Thanks means more when parted from others and that which is familiar, I find.
